Tetrapak Mini Wall Shelf (Juice carton, tetra pack reuse)

Reuse juice cartons (tetrapak) as a mini wall shelf.

Just apply some glue on two adjacent sides and stick it to a wall corner (see pictures).

Step 1 Wash the carton

Clean up the inside of carton with water or any cleaning agent. This is to get rid of any juice inside the carton.

Very simple but extremely useful. Thanks

I like this idea, have you thought of covering the boxes with wallpaper or fabric?

Yes, you can cover it up to make it more attractive. But I thought leaving it uncovered will make people take notice and reuse their own boxes.

You could also remove one end of the carton for even more space!

How does this not have any comments? I like it alot. I just want to know how long it lasted.

 The ones featured in the pictures are still on!

I experimented with some others and found the following:
1) A synthetic rubber glue worked better on tiles. Since the surface is smooth and regular strong glues may not work. I haven't experimented with hot glue.
2) If you want to put heavy stuff on it, you could affix it with wider side facing the wall. That'll give it more contact with wall and better grip, of course that'll give you a little less space to put stuff, but it'll be sturdy.

I have a whole bunch of these around my house holding everything from detergent, soaps, shampoos, remote controls, small plant pots, decorative pieces etc etc.
